“Love is carefree.
It is dropped at every moment
for the next moment of love to be fresh, without residue.”

Hello Tony,

Thanks for your post, which is triggering the following question: Does a method exist to drop the clinging instantly.

Meditation is probably the answer.., but, is there a more direct technique to cut-through, which can be used in the moment itself. I see Tibetan lama’s sometimes blink with their eyes as if they are resetting/purging the mind on the spot, but I’m not sure if this has something to do with that. Relax, and have confidance in the moment off course, but just in case of :-), how do we detect, on the spot, that we are getting carried away? There might also be a link with Togal and Trekcho practices.. Thanks a lot.

The very moment of recognition of clinging or holding a bit too long, is the cutting through -trekcho, that drops us into spontaneous
presence – Togal – the brightness of seeing clearly reflected in the five wisdoms or Buddha families.

I used to think that Tibetan lamas were aliens too! 😀

Maybe they are bringing their lung (pronounced loong) down. It does clear the eyes. When our eyes feel tired the lung practice seems to make them a little more watery. It takes the tension away.

How do we detect on the spot that we are getting carried away?
It just happens, the more familiar with this process the more we recognise. The moment we recognise we have forgotten…we remember! We don’t have to do anything.
